Citrus Get Citrus Convert JPEG 2000 to JPG on Mac, offline
Need to turn a .jp2 file into JPG? Citrus converts JPEG 2000 to JPG right on your Mac, offline, using Apple's own engines. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for client work, private photos and contracts.
What to expect
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas become a solid background. Both formats are lossy, so each conversion adds a little compression loss. Convert once from the original and keep quality high. Resize by percent or pixels, crop, and choose whether to keep EXIF and location data, all before converting. How to convert JPEG 2000 to JPG
Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon). Drop your .jp2 file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel. Choose JPG as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution. Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed.
